In the Prize Ring.

No steps have been taken by the back
ers of McAulife and Carney toward bring
ing about a meeting and agreeing on Il
new referee. Larry Kennedy, one of the
men behind McAulitfe, said:
I'VE are in no hurry. Mac was not fit
to enter the ring last TuesdGy night, but
did it simply because he felt obliged to
square himself in the eyes of the public,
who had been given the idea that Jack
was afraid of Carney. He was no more fit
to fight than you or l was. Now that he
has proved be is no coward we shall wait
a little while before We make any effort to
have the fight continued
Carney's hackers are not in the best Of
humor over the statement.
Carney is impatient to have the battle
settled, so he can return to bis family IN
England, and his hackers are disturbed
over their mans uneasineSs and the extra
expense they will be put TO in Keeping him
on this side of the big pond until the Nc
Auliffe party are ready.
I'VE have shown our readiness for bat
tie" said Patsey Sheppard, ''and now We
will wait for the McAuliffe party, don't
believe tn ey will ever be ready, however.
They are not using us right. They know
that Carney came over here expressly for
this battle, and they are trying to have Us
keep him here as long a time a they can
at a big expense, and will then give us the
shake"
The final stakeholder, who has the power
to appoint a referee, if the hackers of the
principals do not agree on one, said he did
not intend to take advantage of the priv
ilege. They must" said he come to
some agreement; if they cannot agree on a
referee they will have to call it a draw,
and draw down the money they have
posted"
If the latter agreement is made, and Car
ney does not have IN opportunity to fght
for the 81, 500 now posted, a big benefit will
be given him before his return TO England,
and his friends will get up a subscription
for him so that he will not he o loser on
account of his visit to the United States.
DOminick McCsffrey has been cbarac-
terized a sure thing fighter by Cleveland
parties. In answer to Reddy Gallagher's
challenge to fight six rounds in Cleveland,
he said that he heard Mitchell received
81, 200 for his fight there with Gallagher
and be considers himselfa better man than
Mitchell. Therefore, !" says he, "Tncome
to Cleveland and spar Gallagher six
Queensbury rounds for a guarantee of
81, 200, win or lose, in hand before the
match. Tom Costello answered McCaf-
frey that if he chose to come here and spar
Gallagher six rounds for 60 per cent of the
receipts to the winner and 40 per cent to
the loser, he could do 50. But you must

The proposed colonization OF all the
Dunkards in the United States in the
Panhandle" of Texas is a big thing in it's
way. The colonists will be principally
drawn from Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania
and Illinois, and some probably from
North Carolina.
Originally the Dunkards were a peculiar
society Of Bapsists in Germany, They
came TO this country about fifty years be-
fore the revolution, and have adhered
stsadfastly to their faith and primitive
methods. In many respects they are like
other Baptists. Their mode of baptism,
however, is q li.tle different. The person
to be baptized has to kneel aud be dipped
head foremost. In the celebration of the
Lords supper ~feet.washing and the kiss of
love are prominent features. The sick are
anointed with oil. General redemption Ia
believed in, although it is not an article
in their faith. The Dunkards are remark
able for great plainness ofdresS and speech,
They will not take au oath, fight or go to
law, and it is only in recent years that
they have consented to receive interest in
their money transactions. Perhaps the
entire sect numbers something like fifty
or sixty thousand souls.
The honest simplicity Of these people is
worthy of the highest admiration. During
our late wal both governments respected
their conscientious scruples. The Federals
exempted them from service and the Con-
federates did likewise. 1t is said amisprint
in the Confederate statute on the subject
made it appear that 'fruukards'' were ex-
empted, and there was great rejoicing
among certain red-nosed citizens, but their
satisfaction was shOrt.liyed.
Texas is to be congratulated on securing
a colony of such good people, and it is per
haps Just as we'll that they should live by
themselves, fenced of from the rest Of the
world. II they mingled much with wicked
mankind they would doubtless be robbed or
cheated ont Of al their possessions.

Formerly advertising was done at hap.
hazard now advertising is an arrive might
say science-which is studied by nearly all
Inc successful businessmen of the day. Old
togies there may be who do not indulge much
In printers 1nk-unless 1t be at the expense OF
the publisher In the way of ''a puff"-but the
w1de-awake business man advertises no mat
not.
John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, is one OF
the model advertisers of America, He has
several columns Of fresh advertisements every
day in each of the Philadelphia papers, and
next TO the news and editorial columns the
reader turns quickest to the Wanamaker de-
partment to read 1.-THE latest" in that line
Some people might think that Wanamaker
could get along with about one-half of the ad-
vertls1ng, but he conducts his business accord
ing 10 rules of strict economy and would not
spend dollar with the printer that be did not
mink would pay. The fact that millionaire
merchant spends hundreds of dollars a day in
newspaper advertising is enough to prove that
advertising Is necessary.-Richnaond State.
The men who advertise most literally are
the men who sell most goods, and consequent
ly can make more money on shorter profits
than those who advertise less
The men who fail to advertise, even il SO dis
posed, cannot afford to sell as good bargains as
those who do advertise. for the amount OF
their sales is not sufficient to enable them to
do so.
The liberal advertiser is the man who will
sell the best bargains, not only because he is
more liberal and generous in disposition, but
because the amount of his business, due to ad-
vertising, enables him to do SO.

PROMPT CONVICTION OF A MURDERER
The conviction of Ross, one of the three
colored men under Indictment for sburk-
ing" Miss Brown, was accomplished yes
terday with unusual promptitude, the trial
lasting only one day. 1t was shown that
Ross was the actual perpetrator of the MUIR
der, and the verdict of murder in the first
degree was amply justified by the evidence.
The crime was such cold blooded one that
the popular sense of justice will be gratified
by the prompt action Of the'law, which,
while it should never be invoked for pur-
poses of vengeance, gathers force and dig
nifty in public estimation when it is seen to
be an efficient instrument for the punish
ment of crimes such as that of which Ross
was found guilty.-BaH. San, Jan. 22nd.
The Interstate Commence bill passed

should give it fair trial. They cannot af-
ford to engage in warfare upon so moderate
a measure. For if they do, more radical
measures-measures less easy to defeat when
they are put into practice will be adopted.
The large majority by which the bill passed
the House shows that the people are in ear

1t imprudent to leave his overcoat in the

see, gradually wasting away In body, but my
tongue is as lively as ever; and still feel an

lasted for about twenty minutes, in the course
of which Gov. Smith said that he realised that
in business. in mechanical industries. agri-
culture, transportation facilities, ETC., "but by
the gods, young man, he added, 'our people
are not paying enough attention to the proper
training of the youth of the land-they are not
teaching them the fundamental principles of
constitutional liberty" He also complained
that there was too little consideration of 'in-
herent rights" and deprecated the fact that
the tendency toward class legislation was
growing worse all the time. ''It was bad
enough in the earlier part of the century," he
